British diver Tom Daley has admitted in a YouTube video that he is bisexual and currently in a relationship with a man, who makes him feel "so happy and so safe".

The teen Olympian revealed in the video that he met his beau earlier in 2013 and his life has changed massively since then, the Mirror reported.

Daley said that he took this long to come out because he wanted to keep his private life private, and also because his life has been a bit of a roller coaster over the last couple of years, with his dad's death due to cancer, winning an Olympic medal and finishing his A levels.

Daley also admitted that the relationship had taken him "by surprise a little bit", and even though he still likes girls, he is dating a guy right now and couldn't be happier.

Daley insisted in the video that he is still the same guy he was before the revelation, adding that he still wants to win an Olympic gold medal at Rio 2016 for Britain.
